Bielema’s Badgers: Aggressive, Yet Inconsistent

... Scott Tolzien would fare in his first career start. They didn't have to wait long.

Just under three minutes into Saturday's game against Northern Illinois, Tolzien found Isaac Anderson for an 80-yard touchdown on the team's first play from scrimmage.

The Badgers didn't have a pass play over 50 yards all of last season, yet on his first play as starting quarterback, Tolzien aired it out to Anderson for 80 yards and a 7-0 lead. Talk about making a good first impression.

Unfortunately for Tolzien and Wisconsin, however, the team would have mixed results from that point on. The junior threw for just 177 yards on 14-of-19 with two interceptions the rest of the way.
